Sugar Marina Hotel – FASHION – Kata Beach

Excellent property. Room was clean and modern. Breakfast cheaper then listed on the website, only 250THB. Excellent pool access room. Housekeeping were immaculate and very detailed. Friendly staff. Cons- 1/constant smell of smoke on the balcony when neighbors smoked. 2/Shower struggled to maintain constant temperature, had to keep fiddling with the taps. 3/Taxi took me to the wrong hotel, ensure the taxi knows the correct location as there are two Sugar Marina hotels in Kata. 4/Ridiculous closing time of the pool (8pm)

We arrived mid-July 2016, the pool was under construction. I thought it was not a big deal since the beach is only a block away. But as soon as the morning comes, the construction noise was on full blast. My only option was to transfer to a different Sugar Marina nearby. For the the one day and one night I was in Sugar Marina Fashion, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The hotel room itself was very spacious; however, was dirty to my standard. There was sand and dust on the floors and in the bathroom. The bathroom itself was not thoroughly cleaned, which is not hygienic. I'm not sure how a deer's head trophy on the wall is considered "Fashion". I believed they tried to make this hotel an upscale-edgy feel, but didn't succeed. Even though the beach is only a block away, I won't be coming back to this hotel.

My husband and I arrived at 12.47am to a hotel that was under renovation. First, we thought that only the restaurant Black Pearl was under renovation. Upon reaching the lobby, we were greeted by an empty pool, piles of cement, pallets of new tiles, exposed wires overhead and construction workers sleeping around the drained out pool. A male receptionist grunted his hello and asked for our reservation. When I asked why the hotel was in that condition, he didn't reply but asked me to complete a check-in form and gave me the room key. I was told to stay for the night and that we would be moved to another hotel in the morning. Looking around, we realised we were the only guests of a hotel that was undergoing a complete overhaul! It was just one receptionist and vacant rooms, no lights, no aircon, nothing!!! We are shocked that the hotel is still taking in reservations knowing full well it is under renovation. I insisted that we be moved to their sister hotel immediately.

Please dont get fool, the hotel is under renovation and you will be located to another hotel which is far from the beach. Nothing is mentioned about the renovantion on expedia! Kudos expedia for an excelent information!

the room is not too clean...

great location - many things to do , see, eat around. great beach within one min. walk. the pool looks good in the centre of the hotel. though the entrance door is problematic. there is some drainage smell in the toilet.

Nice hotel, very clean and good beds and great breakfast. Nice location off street but still close to beach.

One of the best value resorts in Kata if not Phuket. Secluded in a quiet and tranquil place away from the buzzing streets of Phuket, this place offers so much for such great value. Sleep in, get up early or just switch off from the rat race, you will feel at home here. We will be back and I highly recommend this resort. Staff are wonderful always willing to help and assist.

The room we stayed for the first night has a bathtub in the room, rather than in bath room, so I felt a bit strange and asked for change of rooms. They're fully booked that day but we were able to settled in to reasonablly arranged room. Staff working here are nice and helpful. In room dining is no too pricy. If you are not looking for huge swimming pool and ocean view rooms, then this hotel is for you. It's not facing busy street so quite at night.

My friend & I stayed here for two night in December, before the peak holiday seasons. The room size and amenities are okay. It's not well built (low quality interiors, wall paint is on furniture, etc) and not well maintained. The hallway floor, the elevator, and overall is dusty. The worst thing is its cleanliness -- my bathroom tub hasn't been drained for a few days (who knows) so the tub has this yellow strain with dirty water in it, the towels have some bad smell that I had to ask for replacement. In sum, I think the hotel is a bit overrated. In my opinion, lower prices & less stars will be more appropriate.
